Will the rebuilt Karger Center be “Green”?
Yes. Our plans are to achieve Silver LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification as created by the US Green Building Council (USGBC). This certification is a nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings. The use of carefully selected material, energy efficiency, water savings, and the overall environmental quality of the building will have a significant impact on maintenance costs upon completion. We also plan to provide a roof garden to enable the children to grow their own plants and vegetables.
